Silver Shield Corporate Update
BURLINGTON, ON, Feb. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Tim D. Towers Reports :
Silver Shield has made strides in its quest to become a producer
and we offer an update on our activities in recent months.

Mexican Update
LA CUMBRE GOLD/SILVER MINE
The La Cumbre property consists of 3 concessions totalling 7,000
ha. and located in Guerrero State. It covers an area of ~4.5 km.
wide x 15.5 km. in strike length.
The former producing La Cumbre Gold/Silver Mine has been one of the
main focuses of the Company in recent months. The mine has had an
historical NON 43-101 resource compiled by the Mexican Government
of 16,856 tonnes @3.57 g/t Au, 505.5 g/t Ag and 0.2 % Cu over 1.51m
width to the 50 m level. The mine shaft is accessible to 50 metres
with some levels partially developed. A 17 hole diamond drill
program by Silver Shield returned bonanza values of silver, gold
and copper not only confirming the historical resource model but
also locating multiple new veins and extending the resource model
to depth. The company has also constructed modern work quarters at
the site.
For 2012 the company has planned an initial 300 metre development
mining plan from the 50 metre adit level and has arranged for a
local Mexican contract miner to be engaged. It is planned to remove
~3,000 tonnes of material for processing and metallurgical studies.
However before the mining can be started a mining permit and
explosive permit must be obtained. The company is in the process of
garnering these documents. It is expected the necessary permits
will be obtained and work will commence in three to four months. A
contract custom mill has previously agreed to mill all material
from the mine at a reasonable price.
Other work planned for this year include diamond drilling and
follow-up prospecting, mapping and sampling of the numerous soil
anomalies (Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn) on the concessions.
TEMIXCO CONCESSION
Silver Shield Resources has acquired by denouncing the Temixco
concession in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The concession totals
1,058 ha in size.
The concession hosts from 350,000 to 500,000 tonnes of Tailings
along with 3 old mines. The ore for the tailings came from a
massive sulfide deposit located ~5 km to the east and was last
worked in 1943.
SSR has only performed preliminary work at this stage to evaluate
the potential of the tailings. Four samples taken by the company as
part of its due diligence to substantiate previously reported
assays returned the following average grades:
AVERAGE GRADE RANGE OF ASSAYS VALUE AT TODAYS PRICES
Au- 1.007 g/t 0.399- 1.508 g/t Au @ $1,730/oz = $50.46/gm $
50.81
Ag- 145.3 g/t 76.2- 224 g/t Ag @ $33.50/oz = $0.98/gm $142.39
Cu- 0.074% 0.029- 0.189% Cu @ $3.85/lb. $ 6.27
Pb- 5.32% (using 4%avg.) 3.25- 8.89% Pb @ $0.97/lb $ 85.36
Zn- 0.49% 0.363- 0.672% Zn @ $0.95/lb $ 10.24
Total Value/ Tonne $295.07
The old mines, hosted within Tertiary age rhyodacite and rhyodacite
tuff, are located ~3 km. to the northwest of the tailings area.
Mineralization is located in veins and consists of gold, silver and
copper. No work has been performed by the company at this time on
the old mines. It is not known how many tonnes or the grade of ore
that was removed by previous owners.
Work planned for this year includes metallurgical studies,
environmental study, and a mill designed, procured and erected with
production by year end of 200 tonnes/day.
Canadian Update
Welsh Silver Mine Elk Lake Ontario
The company has been working with Mr. Brian Hester to assimilate
all data in the area of the Welsh Silver Mine both current and
historical. The reason for this exercise is the preparation of the
first complete and comprehensive report on the Welsh Mine and the
surrounding area adjacent to it. The company has been unwavering in
its belief of the economic feasibility of this area. The report
currently being completed we believe will show the structures,
mineralized zones and past historical work and mining to aid in
Silver Shield's 2012 development plan for the Welsh Silver Mine .
With $33 USD silver we believe the mine can be again the "Silver
Gem" of Northeastern Ontario in 2012.
Lost Dog Gold Property Timmins Ontario
The Lost Dog Property, in close proximity to the Lakeshore Gold
Timmins West Gold Mine, has undergone significant geophysics by the
company. We are extremely pleased with the results. It appears from
the IP and Mag work done that a limb of the Porcupine Destour Fault
could be traversing the centre of the property. Follow up work on
these readings and detailed surface sampling will be performed this
summer and fall to plan for locating drill sites on the
property.
Other Timmins Properties
The company has extended the agreement on the Ogden Property in
Ogden Township in close proximity to Explor's (EXS-TSXV) recently
announced high grade gold findings. The extension till December 31,
2012 allows the company to perform additional surface work this
year to determine the feasibility of a small drill program later in
the fall.
